Deep Minisg In Mohave Ceuafy

We have always maintained that the
main ore bodies Of the mines of Moaave
county would be found below the water
level. That this is so We have now act.
nal and positive proof, illustrated BY two
mines which have been recently equipped
with hosting and pumping machinery to
enable the work of development to be
prosecuted below the water level. In the
Cupel mine at depth Of 2l5 feet, and in
what has hitherto supposed to have been
barren ground, large body oi ore assay
ing from 800 to 500 ounces Der ton, has
recently been struck and already g. car
load OF the ore Is on the way 70 be
sampled. Men are now engaged In drift.
ing both ways on the ore streak aud they
have already demonstrated that ii is
seventy feet long with no appearance OF
its giving out.
On the G. o. d. mine still larger body
of ore has been encountered. On the 250
foot level OF this mine body OF ore has
been opened up, from two to five feet
wide in places, on which levels have been
run over 100 feet each way from the shaft.
Probably the best illustration OF the value
Of this ore may be obtained from the act
ual returns OF q car load worked at our
Sampling Works last week. This car
load, weighing over eleven tons, actually
sampled 634 ounces in silver and four
fifths of an ounce in gold per ton, and
netted Messrs. Dana and Howell, the for
tunate owners Of the mine, over and
above Shipping and working EXPENSES.
$1,000. When this is understood SIS be-
ing the product OF the labor Of twenty
men for one week IN drifting alone, the
value OF the ore body can be partially es-
timated. From now on the nisa will
produce from this level alone tw, ear
loads, equal to $4,000. per week, while
the work Of sinking the main shaft an
other 100 feet and opening up another
level, will be continued as fast az pos
sible. This is beyond question the rich
esf body OF ore ever found in Mohave
county; still, that in the Crpe! mine may
fully equal it in extent and value when
fully developed.
While we feel a pirdonablc pride IL
finding our theories So thoroughly and 50
quickly proven, We cannot underestimate
the great practical heaefts which must
necessarily result from these discoveries.
New mines will he sought for and found.
abandoned ones re-opened, and OF those
now being worked surface prOsy ec:iBg
will be ended and the work O. develop
ment below the water level iuaug,rated.
This cannot but result in more bodies o.
ore being found, the equal, II lot the su-
perior, of those described abofe, aud ia
making the bullion product OF AIohaye
county equal 10 that Of any OF the great
mining camps whose reputs-ion ha'' been
and is, world wide.

The warrants Of Pima county are at
par to-day, owing to the fact that the
county has bonded its Indebtedness.
Why cannot the same be done in this
county? We do not owe one-tenta as
much as Pima, aud our resources are
nearly as great. The mines Of Moliave
county to-day are producing more money
every month than those Of Pima, although
our stock interests are not as large.

The Report of tho Church Extension
Society.

society.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 1.-THE au-
nual meeting of the Methodist Episcopal
Church Extension Society was begun to.
day at Wesley Hall. Bishop Bowman, OF
st. Louis, presided. There were present
Bishops Stephen NJ. Merrill, Charles IL.
Fowler, John NJ. Walden, John F. Hurst,
and Edward G. Andrews. The session was
OF reports and the appointment of com
mittees. The report OF the president,
Thomas I. Tasker, shows that the past
year has been the most successful In the
history OF the church for church extension.
The year began on Nov. /, 1886, with a
balance Of $45, 12G.3l, and the receipts have
been S2G3, 3,G27.1d, giving total Of S3Oo,-
35345, an increase Of S37, 1896. l3. or the
$l5S, ,G25. 10 received on general fund, the
collections from churches were $l19,976.41,
an increase over the preceding year Of
$20,590.50. The net receipts on general
fund from all sources exceed those Of the
previous year by SIS S,338.33, and exceeded
those Of any previous year by 81, 1850.
The total disbursements were S269, ,02+74,
as follows: On general fund, $l5ISH.r;
on loan fund, $111 $50. This is an increase
gain In the number Of churches aided, which
last year amounted to 522 against 5ll for
the previous year. The grand total aided
In four years has been 2,0l3. The report
further states: The frontier church plan
still finds response from generous
givers. The total number placed now
reaches S5s, and eleven more are waiting the
fulfillment OF special conditions made by
donors as to name and place. TIE total
donations from this fund thus far have
been $0l, ,750, which were accompanied by
loans amounting to $75,700. The result has
been procurement Of property Of an ag-
gregate value Of $73l 500, or an average Of
IS gained for each 81 given, and an average
value OF 81, 600 to each church instead OF
the minimum 81 $50 required by the plan.

the injuries of all the men were serious, and
It was feared some would die. The lremen
were called to the scene, but the flames
were quickly extingulshed without damage

THE NAVAL WAR COLLEGE.
Theoretical Instruction Supplemented
by Practical Exercises.

by Practical EXERCISES.
The annual report Of Commodore j. G.
Walker, chief Of the bureau OF navigation,
calls special attention to the work Of the
superintendent Of compasses, which is very
valuable as indicating probable changes In
the magnetic conditions Of steel vessels,
upon the accuracy Of which the safety OF
sity exists for supplying separate search
light electric light plants to ships Of war,
as the incandescent plants now In use will
serve both purposes. Referring to the
naval war college, the report states that
Rear Admiral Luce intends to supplement
theoretical instruction by practical exer-
cises ashore and ailoat in Narragansett bay.
The college opened its third term Sept 3,
with a class OF twenty-three officers.
The branch photographic Offices have un.
doubtedly supplied very valuable informa-
tion to seamen, who have generally CO
operated. Owing to the limited accom-
modatlons afforded the branch hydro
graphic Office at New York the report sug-
gests the use Of the barge Office, which at
present is not in use. An appropriation is
the present quarters being inadequate. The
report calls attention to the advantages de
rived from having nautical instruments
tested at the navy observatory. Several
sextants which had been reported as being
true were found to be unserviceable, and
serious errors would have occurred through
their use. Authority is asked so that In
strumenis found to be unserviceable may
be destroyed. Attention is also called to
the numerous wrecks abandoned on the
Atlantic and gulf coasts, and suggestion
made that small vessel be stationed at
New York or Norfolk for the purpose Of
destroying them. A statement showing
the need Of naval reserve concludes the

LOOKED THEIR PRETTIEsT.
The MaIdens at the UniversalIst Church
Fair.

The "Carnival Of the Months" continued
last night, and the success was even more
marked than on the previous evening. The
young ladies and the middle aged ladlas (if
there were any, for the reporters recollec-
ton is that all were young) looked their
prettiest at all comers, whether they were
wealthy or poverty. stricken. The sales
were Eore than satisfactory, and the man
agement was very much inclined to shake
hands with itself. Dancing was INDUCED
In by large number, the temptation to do
so being far greater than on the preceding
evening, as a portion Of Prof. Hinton's or
chestra had been engaged to succeed the
dscordant combination which afflicted the
fair on that occasion.
The increased attendance was doubtless
largely due to the fact that the smiling face
of Mr.. @. M. Merrill ornaments the position
Of ticket-taker.
The dinner, which is served each day
from to 9, deserves a liberal patronage,
not only for its frst.class quality, but also
for It's remarkable cheapness.
The journal of the carnival, published
daily, is very creditable production
worthy of note and imitation, because
when It clips anything from its contem-
poraries II never falls to acknowledge 1t.
Voting on the various articles to be com
peted for is going on slowly. The black
board will be up to night, and the results
will all be known by 10 o'clock. This Is
the last night OF the fair.
